| - | A **macro** is a piece of code that is inserted into [[passage]] text. Macros are used to accomplish many effects, such as altering the game's state, displaying different text depending on the game's state, and altering the manner in which text is displayed. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== List of built-in macros===== | ||
| - | These are only the built-in macros in Twine - other macros may be installed or written on a story-by-story basis. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The following macros **control variables and text** in the story, or use them to alter the displayed passage text: | ||
| - | * [[<<if>>]] / <<else>> / <<endif>> | ||
| - | * [[<<set>>]] | ||
| - | * [[<<remember>>]] | ||
| - | |||
| - | The following macros **display special text**, such as the contents of variables, or the text of another passage. They can provide powerful means of expression in a story. | ||
| - | * [[<<print>>]] | ||
| - | * [[<<display>>]] | ||
| - | |||
| - | The following macros create special kinds of **[[link]]s**: | ||
| - | * [[<<actions>>]] | ||
| - | * [[<<choice>>]] | ||
| - | |||
| - | The following macro controls how its contained text is displayed, and can be useful when combined with other macros: | ||
| - | * [[<<nobr>>]] | ||
| - | |||
| - | The following macros create **form input elements**, and can be used to get input from the player: | ||
| - | * [[<<textinput>>]] | ||
| - | * [[<<radio>>]] | ||
| - | * [[<<checkbox>>]] | ||
| - | * [[<<button>>]] | ||
| - | |||
| - | The following macros are not as useful as they were in previous versions of Twine, but remain for backwards-compatibility: | ||
| - | * [[<<silently>>]] (now supplanted by the [[<<nobr>>]] macro and the "nobr" [[tag|passage tag]].) | ||
| - | * [[<<back>>]] / <<return>> (now supplanted by the [[function|previous() function]].) | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Pseudo-macros ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | In addition to actual Javascript-coded macros, the [[<<display>>]] macro has a shorthand form which allows passages to behave as if they were macros - their contained code can be called and included from any other passage using a syntax similar to actual macros. | ||
